Version	1.1.1
Release date	21/09/2023
Status	Active
Description	The Match service is based on the GSMA Mobile Connect global standard for KYC (Know Your Customer) with a set of Vodafone extensions.

How it works

The customer goes to checkout from the website and pays for the goods they want to purchase.
The website (or app) asks them to register their details for the first time.
The app sends a request to Vodafone's Match API.
The API compares the attributes submitted by the user with the details that Vodafone holds against that user, and sends a response for each of the API attributes. See the example.
If the details don’t match, further identity checks may be required, so that the retailer can ensure that the user is real.

Example:

Attribute	Example response
given_name_match	Y
family_name_match	Y
houseno_or_housename_match	N-AV
postal_code_match	N-AV
birthdate_match	N-AV
is_lost_stolen	false
billing_segment	PAYM
account_state	active
